Jared recently opened up about his battles with depression while showing some love and support for nonprofit organization To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA), which helps those struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide.

“And I, in the past, have had my own struggles of not [being] so happy with where I am in life, which is strange and I think it goes to show… Maybe a lot of people don’t know this, but Season 3, we were shooting an episode and I went back to my trailer to get changed and just kind of broke down,” Jared shared to Variety.

He added, “A doctor came to set and talked to me for about 30 minutes, or 45 minutes and said, ‘Jared, I think you’re clinically depressed. I think I should write you a note and we can shut down production for five days and then we can take it from there.’ And it kind of hit me like a sack of bricks.”

Jensen Ackles keeps a low profile as he arrives at Vancouver International Airport as he arrives back in Canada on Thursday night (November 6).

The 36-year-old Supernatural actor just returned from celebrating 200 episodes with co-star Jared Padalecki in LA.

“I would like to see Dad come back,” Jensen recently dished on who he’d love to see come back to the show. “I’d love to see John Winchester come back. I don’t know how he would come back; I don’t know how that would world. I just know that the dynamic between the brothers and the father was just so unique and so great.”

He added, “I was a shame that the character had to leave when he did. I understand why he had to go, and I don’t disagree with that. It’s just that with Jeff[rey Dean Morgan], and Jared and I – there’s a chemistry, I think, that really just worked well and kind of exploded on the screen.”

“Earlier someone asked me if season 10 was it and my only answer was, ‘I hope not. But if it is, it’s something to be proud of, and if it’s not, we’ll carry on,’” Jaredrecently toldJustJaredJr.com. “I feel like season eight and nine, specifically, we caught a second wind. We had new storylines and new characters who brought such life to it. As a fan of the show, I’ve been excited an uptick in the quality of the show. They’re creating new and fun things, and if they keep doing that, we’ll see.”

At the panel, Executive Producer Jeremy Carver revealed how Demon Dean will affect the entire season.

“It has an enormous effect on the season and the brothers,” Zap2It reports Jeremy said. “The boys, Sam in particular, will really dig into how to rescue his brother from being a demon while Dean struggles with what it means to be a demon. We’re really excited, most of all, with the brothers questioning who’s the real monster. It’s exciting, moving, very emotional and fun.”
